Don’t you realise all the carbs will require an insulin response? It’s just like eating high glycemic except your body will take longer to process it. Looks very nice to eat though!

@Daan – These recipes are for low-glycemic dieters as oppoesed to low-carbers. My GL diet is relatively high in carbs and therefore must be lower in fat. Use the old recipes for MANS dieting, and these ones for GLAD.

I’ve been making this at least weekly since you first posted it. I’m curious though: why the switch to lean beef and low-fat cheese?! If I’m not mistaken those weren’t in your first post. The taco recipe has a similar (surprising) call for low-fat ingredients.
Did I miss the post where you argue that we should be avoiding fats?

@Rich. No, nothing worth talking about anyway. But do factor in the extra calories.

Hey Mark, great post, chili beef is always a favourite, and with a few tweaks it’s also spaghetti bolognese or meatballs. A question for you: I usually throw in some red wine if it’s lying around, then reduce the sauce. Do you know if this adds to the GL count at all?

@Alex, Zam, Shay, John, Tristan. Thanks, parmesan is a great idea. I’m keeping my fat a little lower since my carbs are higher these days.
@Dave. I work out the GL for each ingredient first. There are a few online resources I mention in the link that John posted.
Thanks.

Sounds great, I love anything chilli, though I have to agree with zam – I don’t do anything low fat!

Parmesan really was a good idea to add to this very tasty meal….

I’m really curious, how are you figuring out the GL for all of these great meals?

More or less the same recipe I’ve been using for years, except for the “low-fat cheese” thing, I never use low-fat anything.

I love this meal! What I add to the beef is kidney beans, lots of onion flakes, parmesan cheese, bbq sauce, and tomato sauce, and some chili powder
